the lady on my left is the most wonderful woman on earth
she gave birth to me
she held and caressed me, she saw me took my first step
she spanked me, she got mad at me
she smiles for me, she cries for me, she prays for me

we are different in so many ways
yet we are similar in so many

she is the person i fought with the most
yet we love each other so

there are times when i secretly wish to have a someone else as my mother
yet she is still and will always be the best mother to me

Finally got to rent the 2 movies I have been longing to see
"An Education"

"Hors de Prix (Priceless)" (thanks melli!!!)

LOVE THEM!
both are EXACTLY my kind of movie

simple but fun (convey a clear message)
great acting
beautiful setting (France and England...oh...Europe...i long for you)
AWESOME costume
(seriously!!!goggled whenever the protagonists have a new outfit on...)
(i...who rarely wear dresses except on special occasions... am now dying to wear one)
last but not least...
the protagonists!!
How can anyone resist the charms of Carey Mulligan and Audrey Tautou?

to start off with
i am not good at English
although is the language i am most fluent at (i think...my chinese is funny, my cantonese sounds even funnier, my japanese has huge room for improvement and don't even mention about my french...)

English is a VERY VERY VERY difficult language
period
the longer i teach it
the more i realize how difficult it is

my English students always asked me very interesting and challenging questions
which makes me feel totally incompetent
but i LOVE it!!

here is my secret confession
i never thought i would say it but
english is...hmm...quite sexy
i think i am slowly falling in love with the language

hmm...i love reading other's blogs
the more i read others
the more i realize how boring my blog is...(hmm...)
well,
1)it's not aritculating
2)it's so vague and broad...like BLAH!
3)the content is shallow and not very fun

but on the other hand
i am reserved (and scared, mostly) about sharing my thoughts
in such a public space

or i am just lazy
reviewing and recaputuring my day
organizing thoughts and feelings
is a very engery consuming task

or there is just nothing exciting happening (which is NOT true..i hope)
